The Pilgrim Noir is a special-edition collaboration between Elysian Acoustic Labs and Effect Audio, crafted for listeners who demand high-end performance in a compact, elegant form. Building upon the acclaimed Pilgrim platform, the Noir edition elevates both sonic refinement and physical presentation. Featuring enhanced tuning, upgraded materials, and a custom cable developed by Effect Audio, the Pilgrim Noir offers a dark, luxurious aesthetic paired with an energetic, resolving, and spacious sound signature. It preserves Elysian’s hallmark speed and technicality while introducing improved coherence and a richer tonal balance, making it a top-tier hybrid IEM for audiophiles who value musicality and precision in equal measure.
A refined variant of the original Pilgrim sound signature: tighter bass, smoother upper-mids, and slightly elevated treble air for a more mature and immersive presentation.
The dynamic driver handles low frequencies with power and texture, while multiple balanced armatures deliver high-speed detail across mids and treble.
Includes a Noir-specific cable co-developed by Effect Audio:
High-purity copper and silver hybrid
Ultra-soft insulation
Custom hardware matching the Noir aesthetic
Designed to enhance staging, clarity, and dynamic contrast
Dark, stealth-inspired finish with a layered marbled faceplate unique to the Noir edition.
The lightweight resin shell and optimized nozzle angle ensure secure, long-term comfort for extended listening sessions.
Effcient enough for portable dongles while scaling beautifully with high-end DAPs and desktop amps.
